Going North – Vigan, Ilocos Sur (Part 3)

At last, the last installment for my Ilocos tour is here though it’s been a month late. But still, I want to share with you memoirs of Calle Crisologo and Baluarte in Vigan. Calle Crisologo is a cobbled-stone street, well-preserved for its cultural heritage. It has a unique character because of its old-world feel complete with the calesas as the only means of transportation. The stretch of Calle Crisologo houses souvenir shops and antique shops. You can buy your souvenir shirts for Php 150-350. Bagnet and Vigan Longganisa are also available here.
